Judge Critical, But Lets Brevard Hold Graduations At Church

MELBOURNE, Fla. -- A federal judge Wednesday gave four Brevard County public high schools the go-ahead to hold graduation ceremonies at a Christian church, but he chastised the school board for choosing a religious facility.

U.S. District Judge Gregory Presnell refused to stop the ceremonies at Calvary Chapel in Melbourne because the plaintiffs -- a student, her Buddhist father and another parent who is an atheist -- filed their case too late. Bayside High's graduation is Thursday; the commencements for Eau Gallie, Melbourne and Palm Bay high schools are set for the two days afterward.

"I don't necessarily approve of the school board's decision because it seems clear to me that a secular facility without these religious icons should have been chosen," Presnell said from the bench after a brief hearing Wednesday afternoon.
